Hacking a smart home with Garry Kasparov, Avast Security Ambassador

A smart home is only as secure as its weakest link. At Web Summit, Avast will demonstrate the scenario of a smart home hack, performed by security researcher Vladislav Iliushin, and narrated by Garry Kasparov, who has a long history of trouble with machines. He will comment on the hack, first invading the smart home via its security camera, then infecting a series of smart devices in the home. Garry will draw comparisons to his famous chess matches against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue, where his battle against a machine was actually against the humans behind it. Addressing the wider context of IoT security, Ondrej Vlcek, Avast EVP & CTO, will address the state of IoT security, and showcase how to keep smart home environments secure, using new technologies, including AI.
